Priced at Rs. 6,000, this exclusive release will be available at the Chandon Nashik winery and select premium retail partners in Mumbai. Only 1200 bottles have been produced.<\/p><p>Chandon now joins Grover Vineyards and Fratelli in crafting Super-premium Indian wines in the Rs. 4000+ category, Signet and J\u2019NOON respectively. Of course, they already joined the 4000+ band by introducing a still wine Chandon Aurva at Rs.4250 last year.<\/p><p><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indianwineacademy.com\/articles\/item_1_939\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #990000;\">CHANDON launches Still Wine AURVA Shiraz<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p><p>Chandon claims to be a leader in the premium category with an annual growth of 27 percent with a share of 60% in the Luxury Sparkling segments (other producers might challenge the figures but there are many categories in India so the comparison may not be easy).

Using drip irrigation, solar power systems, and 100 percent water recycling, the winery claims to have reduced its carbon footprint by 550 tons annually.<\/p><p><strong>Kaushal Khairnar,<\/strong> the celebrated Winemaker at Chandon India says, \u2018<em>The Vintage 2015 offers a harmonious tension between freshness and complexity, with dry floral, peach, and grapey notes layered with the richness of baked apple, pastry, and toasty nuances.\u2019 <\/em>The company has not disclosed the grapes in the composition but Kaushal adds, \u2018The wine\u2019s complexity comes from extended yeast aging of eight years, bringing out earthy, pastry, and cheese rind notes, while the low dosage highlights its profound, textural creaminess. The Chardonnay adds vibrancy, while Zinfandel contributes richness, making it an extraordinary expression of Chandon\u2019s craftsmanship.\u2019<\/p><p><strong>Also Read: <a
